Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide real-time cybersecurity training to trainees to improve their ability to respond to cyberthreats. It also aims to enhance the capability to respond to cyberthreats in control systems that include physical facilities that need protection. The invention aims to overcome the limitations of conventional methods of providing virtual environments and models, and enable cybersecurity training to be conducted in various control system fields.

Problems solved by technology

In this case, damage in the provided environment is represented as homepage defacement, service unavailable errors, and the like.
Accordingly, in the event of a cyber crisis in a control system, the control system fails in control of such physical devices, which may result in significant casualties and financial damage.
However, because actual physical devices are involved, existing cybersecurity education methods are not adequate to conduct efficient training for control systems.
Therefore, it is easy to configure the environment, but it is difficult to correctly represent the characteristics of a control device.
As a result, it is difficult for trainees to immerse themselves in training.
Also, the method of providing an actual device enables training related to the characteristics of a control device, but training is limited to a specific field or a specific device.
Therefore, it is difficult to extend training to various fields.

Abstract

An apparatus and a method for providing real-time cybersecurity training. The apparatus for providing real-time cybersecurity training includes a trainee interface unit for communicating with an access device of a trainee who participates in real-time cybersecurity training for a control system, a virtual environment provision unit for providing a virtual environment that includes at least one of a virtual network environment and a virtual system environment corresponding to the real-time cybersecurity training, and a target facility representation unit for displaying the state of a target facility, which is a physical facility that needs to be protected, and the state of a control device of the control system depending on the real-time cybersecurity training.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0043352, filed Apr. 13, 2018, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this application.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates generally to technology for providing real-time cybersecurity training, and more particularly to technology for providing training for securing capability to respond to cyberthreats that target control systems.2. Description of the Related Art[0003]Existing cybersecurity-related training provides training for protecting general IT systems. General IT systems indicate various types of devices and services, such as PCs, web servers, DB servers, and the like. Existing cybersecurity-related education or training systems construct a physical or virtual training environment and provide the same. In this case, damage in the provided environment is represented as homepage defacement, ...
